I like how you wrote "copy/paste" rather than "cut/paste" so that means if an error occurs you didn't lose the original.
I have several video files (roughly 1-2gbs each), that I want to back up on my external hds.
Is it ok to copy/paste the entire folder full of them all at once or safer to do just a few at a time? I'm just afraid doing em all might somehow corrupt a bunch during the transfer. Unjustified?
